The Grand Scale: New Watercolors by Alexander Creswell
October 5 through November 4, 2006
Hirschl & Adler Modern
New York, New York
(212) 535-8810
Celebrated English watercolorist Alexander Creswell is the focus of this exhibition at Hirschl & Adler Modern, in New York City, October 5 through November 4. Twenty-fours works—12 watercolors and 12 preparatory sketches and maquettes—will be exhibited, providing a view of his process of creating large-scale watercolors. Previously topping out at 30” x 22”, Creswell’s watercolor paper is now cut from rolls 60” x 120’, allowing the artist to custom-size works to fit his subjects. Due to the large nature of his watercolors, the artist has developed a new working process in which he is assisted by a custom-made hydraulic easel and a specially designed palette fashioned from an autopsy table.
